MRTG::Config is a Perl module for parsing MRTG configuration files.

WARNING

This module, while reliable right now, is still in ALPHA stages of development... The API/methods may change. Behaviors of methods will almost certainly change. The internal structure of data will change, as will many other things.

I will try to always release working versions, but anyone who expects their code that uses this module to continue working shouldnt... until I remove this warning.

SYNOPSIS

Ever have the need to parse an MRTG config file? I have. I needed to parse lots and lots of them. Using the functions built-in to MRTG_lib was too slow, too complex, and used too much RAM and CPU time for my poor web server to handle - and the data structures MRTG_lib built were way more complex than I needed.

MRTG::Config can load and parse MRTG and MRTG-style confiuguration files very quickly, and the parsed directives, targets and values can be located, extracted, and manipulated through an OO interface.

This module is intended to focus on correctly parsing the format of an MRTG configuration, regardless of whether or not the directives and values, etc. are valid for MRTG. I am using both the parsing behavior of MRTG_libs readcfg() function and the description of the format on the MRTG website as my guidelines on how to correctly parse these configuration files. I am still a short way off that goal, but this module is currently being used in a production environment with great success!

PLEA FOR MERCY

I plan on adding to this documentation and making it better organized soon, but Im willing to answer questions directly in the mean time. Also, this is my first module, written in a hurry to appease some disgruntled engineers. I do plan on continuing to improve it, so any input, positive or negative is certainly welcome!

USAGE EXAMPLE

use MRTG::Config;

my $cfgFile = mrtg.cfg;
my $persist_file = mrtg.cfg.db;

my $mrtgCfg = new MRTG::Config;

$mrtgCfg->loadparse($cfgFile);

# Want to store the parsed data for use later or by
# another program?
$mrtgCfg->persist_file($persist_file);
$mrtgCfg->persist(1);

foreach my $tgtName (@{$mrtgCfg->targets()}) {
my $tgtCfg = $mrtgCfg->target($tgtName);
# Lets assume every target has a Title.
print $tgtCfg->{title} . "n";
}

# globals() has some, um, interesting things you
# should know. Please read about it below...
my $globalCfg = $mrtgCfg->globals();

# Lets assume WorkDir is set.
print $globalCfg->{workdir} . "n";

network-config is a simple network configuration tool.

Network-config is a simple and easy to use program that helps configuring the network interfaces for linux-based operating systems. It allows to have multiple configurations for the same computer and to easy configure NAT for internet sharing.

It can also be used to scan for wireless networks. It is written in perl and uses gtk2+, but also works as a command line program.

JoeDog::Config provides a perl extension for parsing data/configuration file.

It reads columns, key-value pairs, and INI style config files into arrays, hashes and hashes of hashes. It can take characters or regexes for separators.

ABSTRACT:
This is a autoloadable module which allows the programmer
to read data from an configuration file into various perl
data types, arrays, multi-dimentional arrays and hashes.

INSTALLATION
JoeDog::Config.pm was built using perl Make::Maker utility
If you are familiar with that utility you should have no
problem with this installation as it will be familiar:

$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ su
$ make install

USAGE
use JoeDog::Config;
my $cnf = new JoeDog::Config(filename);
my @array = $cnf->get_column();
my @arrays = $cnf->get_columns(sep);
my @aoa = $cnf->get_table(sep,num);
my @aoa = $cnf->get_table(sep,[num1, num2, etc...]);
my %hash = $cnf->get_hash(sep);
my %hashes = $cnf->get_hashes(sep);

Simple Config library supports configuration files consisting of simple name-value pairs, similar to the old Windows INI files. A config file can be loaded into memory, queried by item name, modified, and written back out to a file. Configuration items may also be "watched", which causes a user-supplied callback function to be called with the named item is modified
Client code can query the configuration system for named values, set named values, test the type of values (STR, INT, FIX, BOOL, DATE or TIME) and watch values for changes. The system can update the configuration file when the application has changed or added values, even preserving the original format and commens from the input configuration file.
Theres not much to it, at the moment, not even a manpage, so youre on your own as far as using the library. There is a ReadMe file and a makefile, so you can easily build and install the library.
The whole thing took about a week to design, code and test, so its no heroic effort or anything. With a bit more time and energy it could probably be something really spectacular. My main point was that, given the simple problem statement, it was (relatively) trivial to code up a conforming solution.
Enhancements:
- The hashtable code was updated.
- No changes were made to functionality, but it is now more heap-friendly with less heap fragmentation and faster bucket allocation.
- The ground work for automatic table resizing has been laid.

Samba::LDAP::Config is a Perl module to config file related tasks for Samba::LDAP.

SYNOPSIS

use Samba::LDAP::Config;

my $config = Samba::LDAP::Config->new()
or die "Cant create objectn";

# Returns where smbldap.conf, smbldap_bind.conf and
# smb.conf are located
my $smbldap_conf = $config->find_smbldap();
my $smbldap_bind_conf = $config->find_smbldap_bind();
my $samba_conf = $config->find_samba();

Various methods to find where the related Samba configuration files are saved, read them in and write them out etc. Subclasses Config::Tiny.

INTERFACE

new

Create a new Samba::LDAP::Config object

find_smbldap

Searches in usual places for smbldap.conf and returns location found.

my $smbldap_conf = $config->find_smbldap();

Returns the smbldap.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

find_smbldap_bind

Searches in usual places for smbldap_bind.conf and returns location found.

my $smbldap_bind_conf = $config->find_smbldap_bind();

Returns the smbldap_bind.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

find_samba

Searches in usual places for smb.conf and returns location found.

my $smb_conf = $config->find_samba();

Returns the smb.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

read_conf

Wrapper to provide an instant error message as returned by the native Config::Tiny read method

my $conf = $config->read_conf( $filename );

read_string

Overrides Config::Tinys read_string to exclude the " " marks found in smbldap.conf and smbldap_bind.conf and remove section handling, as we dont have any [sections] in either of these files.

Also substitutes the suffix hash ( ${suffix} ) with its value.
Need to fix the smb.conf reading. Will use File::Samba or Config::Auto for it instead.
